The Joker's Partner

Chapter 10

I yawn and turn to see J still sleeping next to me. The memories of last night come flooding back. I sit there for a moment with a tear threatening to roll down my face but quickly I wipe it away.

I whisper to myself, "I dunno if I can do this J... I just don't know. "

Quietly I get out of bed and walk to the kitchen. I realized I was very hungry so I went to me fridge and grabbed two eggs. I got all of the suplies I needed and turned the stove on. Making scrambled eggs was never really that hard.

After a few minutes, as I start to push some of the eggs onto my plate, I feel someones hands rest gently on my hips. His husky voice lingers in my ear,"Morning beautiful."

Joker had came out with just pants on. I don't look directly at him, "Hi J.."

He licked his lips and frowned as he turned my body to face him,"Marisa, why are you doing this to me?"

Just as I'm about to answer my favorite person just has to walk in,"Hey Puddin."

J closed his eyes and looked down pinching the bridge of his nose,"Hello Harley."

Quietly I head upstairs to my room completely forgetting about the eggs I had just made. Back down stairs I hear Harley, "Mista J did you bring me to my room? I don't remember what happened, I think I passed out. There's a bump on my head.."

I snicker to myself and close the door. I despise her and this whole situation she's put me in. I remember I haven't changed my bandages in a while so I walk into the bathroom and lift up J's shirt as I start to unwrap them.

I find a scar starting from part of my back, going around my left side, and ending at the start of my stomach. I wipped my eyes again, hating that I wanted to cry.

The Joker:

I stood there awkwardly has Harley tried to hug me. At first I didn't mind her being around but now-.. now a slow burning ball of hatred started to form in whatever heart I had. She caused Marisa to hate me.

I pushed her off me,"Harley, dear, there's an outfit for you in the back closet for you (her revenge outfit in arkham city minus the veil and messy make-up). Go put it on, I need you to go make a hiest in the museum nearby for me."

She looked excited, "Oh you got me an outfit puddin! How sweet of ya! What changes want me to retrieve there?"

I scratch the back of my head,"It's this giant diamond, you won't miss it."

"Anything for you Mista J". I watch her run off then turn around and push some scrambled eggs on a plate to bring to Marisa. I needed to talk to her."

Marisa:

I hear someone come in. I turn my head to see J standing in the doorway, holding a plate of scrambled eggs, and staring at my scar. I look away and let the shirt drop back down to cover it. I hear the plate get put down as I stare at myself in the mirror. Something touches my side so I look down to see J up on his knees slowly lifting the shirt up. I turn to face him but he ignores me and gently traces the scar with his fingers. When he's done he slides his hand to my leg and looks down as he sits back on his own legs. He uses his other hand to pull at his hair as he talks to himself,"I forced you into all this. I broke you and your beautiful body. It's all my fault.. all my fault. ."

He lets go of me and slams his fist against the ground. A water droplet hits the floor and I realized he was crying. He's never cared about me this much. He's change so much over the years but then again so have I. I drop down infront of him and hug him tightly. He buries his face into my kneck as I run my fingers through his soft green hair. "Why did I have to fall in love with a crazy clown," I say as I kiss the top of his head.

He doesn't look at me,"I'm not crazy. "

"No, you're not insane, " I move hair out of his face, "but you are a little crazy". He still doesn't look at me. "It's what makes you, you and I like you".

He looks up at me and smiles.

Harley Quinn:

Doin as Mista J told, I sneak into the museum. It's closed today which makes everything so much easier.

He's right when he says you can't miss it, the diamond is huge! I already shut down the security cameras so I'm good to go. All I have to do is get past the laser beams gaurding it. Turning those off would have caused the alarm to turn off. Using my gymnastic skills I easily get past it and put the diamond in my bag. As I'm about to leave I hear the alarm and turn around to see a girl with deep red hair in a green leafy outfit running towards me. "Hide!" She grabs my arm and pulls me into another room.

"Way ta go!" I whisper to her as gaurds run past. When the coast is clear I sigh, "I'm Harley Quinn. What's your name?"

"Poison Ivy. I've never heard of you before, you new around here?"

"I've just recently become the Joker's partner," I say proudly.

"So he's finally gotten rid of that little skank."

I frown, "Well.. no not exactly. "

She looks at me with a devilish gleam in her eye,"Want help getting rid of her?"
